Al2O3 Thin Films on Magnesium: Assessing the Impact of an Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interphase

Emily Sahadeo et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the properties of Al2O3 thin films deposited using atomic layer deposition as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase at the Mg anode. Results show that Al2O3 prevents electrolyte degradation due to the reductive nature of Mg, but undesirable properties such as defects and layer breakdown lead to soft-shorting issues. The study suggests that Al2O3 is not ideal for use as a protective layer, as it cannot prevent soft-shorting and instead hinders Mg growth.
